Book Report: I thought they fired him.

Book Report
After he left the Saturday evening public radio show under a fog of impropriety, Garrison Kiellor really never went away. Still writing his brand of small town prairie humor and taking his show on the road. We noticed his coming appearance on the Brady theater in Tulsa a year or so ago. Never the less he is still writing about his imaginary town of Lake Wobegon. Matter of fact he has authored about a half dozen books since leaving Prairie Home Companion.
Title: Boom Town, A Lake Wobegon novel. By Garrison Kiellor, fiction humor 2022.
Library of Congress annotation:

“Return to America’s most beloved fictional hometown! Lake Wobegon is having a boom year thanks to millennial entrepreneurship–AuntMildred’s.com Gourmet Meatloaf, for example, or Universal Fire, makers of artisanal firewood seasoned with sea salt. Meanwhile, the author flies in to give eulogies at the funerals of five classmates, including a couple whom he disliked, and he finds a wave of narcissism crashing on the rocks of Lutheran stoicism. He is restored by the humor and grace of his old girlfriend Arlene and a visit from his wife, Giselle, who arrives from New York for a big love scene in an old lake cabin.”
Again, Boom Town, A Lake Wobegon novel. If you were not a Prairie Home Companion fan, then this is not your book. This is as small town as it can get. Whispering, rumors, the Brethren versus Lutherans, a favorite meatloaf, and more. For mature readers. Be prepared to laugh out loud. Read it. You might like it.
